    In July 2007 a female named "Wicket" gave birth to her 6th baby. The baby's father was called "Little Man" at the time they were around 16 years old so they would now be 18ish.

    and it is Buffy not Buff.

    They currently have the male Little Man and the female Wicket + offspring. In the next few weeks Little Man will move to Edinburgh Zoo and Edinburgh's male Fabio will come to Colchester. Wicket and Little Man both came from Chester originaly.
